Excel/Files

QuestionCan you help me combine multiple excel files into one file. They are all similar file formats

AnswerI'm a little worried about "similar" file formats - if they are identical, it's easy enough as you simply load one, put the data onto the first blank cell and repeat - macro's can handle that easily enough. IF similar, then does it need to match field names?

seeing a sample file would help - I assume all files will be in the one directory? My email is support@flameenterprises.co.uk
